Third Seat/Spare conflict

I'm a neophyte Volvo owner and a first time poster here, and I feel like an idiot.

Just bought a new 2002 V70 2.4T and had the dealer install the third seat. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to access the spare tire/battery/toolkit under this seat. The lower bench neatly bisects the spare compartment. I can pull the cover up and peek in, but with the bench in the way have no idea how to gain full access. The manual says nothing about this problem.

There must be some nifty way to pull that bench out to gain access to the spare, but I am just too dumb to figure it out. Help!

I also did not receive the parts that were removed when the third seat was installed. Since this was not part of the original car we bought, but an additional add-on, shouldn't we have received back the parts that were removed when the third seat was installed? Are these important enough to make a fuss over? I wonder if they would be useful should we decide to remove the third seat down the line.
